60. SEARANGOON GARDENS COUNTRY CLUB
THE FOCUS OF THIS CLUB IS THE NATURALLY-
VENTILATED , GLASS COVERED GARDEN ROOM
OF EXHILARATING PROPORTIONS. CENTRAL TO
THIS DESIGN CONCEPT IS A REAPPRAISAL OF
WHAT MAKES LIVING IN THE TROPIC DIFFERENT;
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE.
THEREAFTER, THE ARCHITECTS HAVE
ENDEAVOURED TO CAPTURE ALL THE POSITIVE
ASPECTS WITHOUT THE DISCOMFORT OF
EXCESSIVE GLARE,HEAT OR HUMIDITY. THIS HAS
INVOLVED NOT ONLY THROUGH THE CAREFUL
PLANNING OF THE FACILITIES, BUT ALSO THE
INTIGRATION OF SOPHISTICATED COOLING AND
SHADING DEVICES IN THE GLASS VAULTED ROOF.

61. THE PLAN OF THE MAIN CLUB HOUSE IS GENERATED
FROM A SQAURE MODULE, AND EXPRESS EXTERNALLY
IN THE FORM OF FIVE GLAZED BARREL VAULTS.
THE MAIN ACTIVITY ROOMS OF THE CLUB ARE
RELATED TO THE CENTRAL LANDSCAPED SPACE.
A CAREFULLY-ORCHESTRATED INTERPLAY OF LEVELS
AND STAIRCASE GIVES ACCESS TO THE RESTAURANT,
LIBRARY, LOUNGE BAR, DISCOTHEQUE AND CAFETERIA.
IN CONTRAST TO THE NATURALLY-VENTILATED
GARDEN ROOMS, THESE FACILITIES ARE AIR
CONDITIONED.
GENEROUS PLANTING IN THE CENTRAL AREA AND
CAREFULLY CHOICE OF FURNITURE GIVES AN IMAGE
OF RELAXED SOPHISTICATION.
TREES PAVING AND PLANTING CONTAINERS ARE
ORGANISED TO DEFINE SPACE AND FOCUS DIRECTION.

62. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT IS IN THE
CONSISTENCY OF DESIGN FROM THE INITIAL IDEA,
TO THE DETAILING OF FENISTRATION, SERVICES AND
LANDSCAPE.
THE MODULAR SQUARE GRID IS EXPRESSED IN THE
STRUCTURE, THE EXOSED CONCRETE WAFFLE SLABS
AND THE ALUMINIUM MESH WALLS.
THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SMALL COLUMNS
ACCOMODATES VARIOUSLY, LIGHTING OR ACCESS
PANEL TO CONCEALED SERVICES.
